Ok I dont like to condone powerlevling, but my brother had his account hacked and long story short, i wanna get him back up to where he was as fast as possible since the situation sucks. He has a rogue, and im a paladin (70) or mage (70).
Should i
A) Group with him and run him through as many instances i can for that type of exp
B) Group with him and run him through quests as fast as possible with the mage DPS making all the quests give him a lot of exp, but he would get little or no group exp.
C) Not group with him and heal him through all he can take with the paladin while he goes through quests
D) None of the above, use X magical trick
Would love the input and many thanks. If its the wrong forum to post in, i apologize but i have a pally (who i think will be the best for Plevling) but just want to get some ideas since i see the spammers advertise powerlevling 1-60 in less than 24 hours.

my money is on option B)
B and possibly A...
If you're blowing through instances for gear for him you might as well get him some exp along the way... But quest escorting is the way to do it. Until you reach the point that he has a few reds but needs to level before he can get more in the zone you're trying to grind.
Then you can either move to a new zone or power a level or 2 in the appropriate instance.
Powerlevel Instances by Level:
10-20: SFK works for a level or 2 in this range.
20-40: SM:Cath is amazing. You could power this whole range in a day using only instances because of Cath.
45-60: Stratholme works well.

If you're a well geared protadin you can attempt the world record breaking method. this method was used to lvl a toon from 1-70 in i think it was 1 day and a couple of hours played time, no rested.
Basically, the two of you enter an instance, and you proceed to aggro as much of the instance as you can. have him wait at the entrance. after you pull a large amount of them (hopefully the whole instance for best results), you bring them back to the entrance, with him waiting there. Then you consecrate several times, bringing the mob's hp down. Now, just as the mob's HP hits extremely low health, you pop 1 last consecrate and leap out of the instance. if done correctly, all the mobs will die to consecrate the moment you step out, but as you're not inside, your brother gets 100% exp from every single one of the mobs.
Like i said, this was used to powerlevel a toon to 70 in about a day. BUT i am not sure whether this is still possible or not, as blizz may well have noticed this exploit and corrected it. feel free to try though.

It still works, and it works even better if you have a 70 lock to do it with.
Load 4 or 5 mobs up with DOTs, kite em to the entrance, then zone out.
The mobs go for the low level char but die before they can even hit him and he gets massive amounts of experience for "soloing" them.

Why do 4 or 5 mobs when you can do an entire instance? Paladins rule at soloing lower level instances...unless you were talking about Strat or something like that. Then, I agree with you. But it will work just fine with his paladin (since he doesn't have a lock).
I'd follow Losie's plan. I'd also say a mix of A & B should level him quite quickly.
For the instance thing. timing it right can be tough. If not done right, your friend will die, and you just wasted a bunch of time. Just something to keep in mind.

Easy answer to the aggro problem. Bubble him on the way out of the dungeon. By the time the caster mobs completed a cast they'd be dead... Hopefully
Although DI has a long cooldown you could also try that one every hour or so.
Could frost nova them in place with a mage too. Drop that flamey aoe the mage has, a consecrate from the pally, Frost Nova and then the 70s run out leaving the rogue relatively safe.

If you arent in his group he will get full XP. thats how my warrior was leveled.

As an update.
I tried to do the paladin consecration and mage AE techniques and run outa stockades to give him full exp, either i sucked at it or it didnt matter and he always got split exp. So I think that technique is nerfed. (if its not please lemme know)
I grouped with him and just blew things up with the mage. Worked fastest to just mow through many quests quickly. No mob exp but seems to work fastest he says. Just hope i dont run out of quests.

i heard it no longer worked.
and i think you do run a risk of running out of quests doing it the way you are.

Don't group with him, let him tap the mob then u kill it. He'll get full xp for the kill, u can help him blow through the quests at the same time.

If memory serves I believe they changed that Tyranise and it no longer works that way. If you are fighting a mob at say 18 and an ungrouped 70 comes and one shots it you get a much reduced amount of XP. I believe there is now some formula that takes a mix of level/damage/person(s) and reduces the tagger's (of the mob) XP. Test it out. I think they did this to make powerleveling harder or more even.
You do indeed get less exp if you are helped by an ungrouped person. Whether they damage the mob or heal you, or whatever. Having a 70 kill mobs that you've tagged (or heal you while you kill them) will get you effectively the same exp as if they were grouped.
It's true that you get less xp when grouped up, but below about level 40 repeated instance boosts is about the fastest way to level there is. A friend of mine is building a 39 twink (a bunch of my guildies have them for some reason...) and we've gotten him up to level 25 so far almost completely through DM/Stocks runs. It takes my pally under 10 min to do either of those so we'd usually just repeat until we hit the instance limit and then log out or do something else until we could go again. I imagine you'd level much faster by boosting him through quests in addition to something like this.

if they heal you while you are killing it it is exactly the same exp. i tested it when i did my warrior.
they cant damage it though.
